Adams was a reporter in the Maine State House for 32 years for the Associated Press before his retirement in 2013. His beat included mostly state legislative and political issues, but also included a full range of general news that happened in Maine and sometimes beyond. He previously worked as a reporter and editor for newspapers in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. In 1979, he and his wife, Betty Adams, were co-editors of the daily newspaper published aboard the Queen Elizabeth II as the liner traveled around the world. They live in Augusta.
